Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bulb does not turn on at dusk or off at dawn. | Light switch is off; sensor is obstructed; insufficient ambient light change. | Ensure the light switch is always in the 'ON' position. Check that the sensor is not blocked by the fixture or other objects. Relocate the fixture if necessary to an area with clear light exposure. |
| Bulb flickers or cycles on/off rapidly. | Sensor interference from nearby light sources (e.g., streetlights, other bulbs); unstable power supply. | Ensure the bulb is not exposed to direct light from other sources that might confuse the sensor. Check the electrical connection for stability. |
| Light output is not as expected (too dim). | Incorrect expectation of brightness; bulb defect. | Confirm the bulb's specifications (800 lumens, 60W equivalent) meet your requirements. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
